An expanded Digital Enterprise portfolio of showcase, consulting, co-creation, and test-bedding for customers and partners in Southeast Asia has been added to Siemens’ Advance Manufacturing Transformation Centre (AMTC) in Singapore. New Digital Enterprise offerings that go beyond existing manufacturing design consulting and digital twin development capabilities include Industrial Edge, Industrial Artificial Intelligence, and Process Analytics.
“Our ambition with AMTC is to help Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Southeast Asia to explore, innovate, and pilot new solutions, and upgrade their capabilities,” said Sascha Maennl, Acting Head of Siemens Digital Industries in ASEAN, at the launch event on November 12. “Many SMEs do not have the resources nor facilities for R&D, thus AMTC provides a sandbox for them. It also provides a co-creation platform where partners and Siemens can combine their solutions to enhance a product.”
SESTO Robotics, a Singapore company that builds Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and solutions for material handling processes, is the first AMTC partner that has co-created an AMR with the Siemens team in Singapore. The robot is built with an off-the-shelf Siemens solution for AMR called SIMOVE, and the SIMOVE software library contains a range of pre-configured and tested functional modules for machine builders. It is also based on the Siemens TIA Portal which facilitates efficient engineering. The AMR also includes a PC-based application that allows the AMR to travel with free navigation.
Grooming Talent for Industry 4.0
The new AMTC has also expanded its training classrooms and curriculum to include Edge Computing, Cloud Platform, Industrial Internet-of-Things, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, 3D Design, Virtual/Augmented Reality, and the Smart Industry Readiness Index. These additional courses will help to upskill local and regional talents in Industry 4.0 capabilities. AMTC will engage in-house experts and trainers from the Siemens Digital Industries business, as well as expert trainers from its 11 Technology members for these courses.
In addition, AMTC will be the first non-academic facility in Singapore to be certified under the Safety of Additive Manufacturing Facilities Technical Reference (TR87). AMTC plans to partner TUV SUD to roll out the TR87 safety training in an operational setting to Qualified Professionals (QP) and Professional Engineers (PE). The training will certify professionals to enable more companies to adopt additive manufacturing in the region.
AMTC was first launched in September 2020 as a three-in-one competence center that combines the Digital Enterprise Experience Centre (DEX), the Additive Manufacturing Experience Centre (AMEC), and Rental Labs – creating a one-stop advance manufacturing ecosystem that addresses operational transition. AMTC remains committed to this mission and will now provide further support to the manufacturing industry in Southeast Asia, said Siemens.
